Design of 500 W Class SOFC Stack with Homogeneous Cell Performance

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Zacharie Wuillemin, Arata Nakajo, Nordahl Autissier, Emily Thorn

Our planar SOFC stacking technology uses unprofiled metallic interconnects (MIC) and thin cells of tape cast anode supported YSZ. The key element is the gas diffusion layer (GDL) between cell and MIC, which consists of so-called SOFConnex™. Using square ce ...

Redox Targeting of Insulating Electrode Materials: A New Approach to High-Energy-Density Batteries

Michael Graetzel, Qian Wang, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin

A compact energy‐storage system based on redox targeting is proposed, by which insulating LiFePO4 particles can be reversibly charged and discharged by redox shuttle molecules (S; see scheme) even in the absence of conducting additives. The energy density ...

A new interleaved multi-channel DC/DC converter specially dedicated to low voltage, high current applications

Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade, Blaise Destraz

Making transportation systems more energy efficient is one of the key challenge in this century. This paper presents a solution for increasing the efficiency of an electrical scooter by adding a supercapacitive energy storage in parallel to the original ba ...

Sensor networks under regulatory power constraints

Michael Christoph Gastpar

Power constraints are often motivated by the physical limitations of the transmitting device (battery power etc.). However, a different source of power constraints is the regulatory framework imposed by authorities such as the United States FCC. Specifical ...

A new solution for increasing the efficiency of an electric scooter with supercapacitors through a novel, interleaved multi-channel DC/DC converter

Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade, Blaise Destraz

Scooters are a well-established transport system for short distances – particularly within cities. Currently, the majority of scooters are petrol powered. Their engines typically exhibit bad efficiencies and thus contribute to global warming by CO2 product ...

Managing Heterogeneous Wireless Environments via Hotspot Servers

Giovanni De Micheli

Wireless communication today supports heterogeneous wireless devices with a number of different wireless network interfaces (WNICs). A large fraction of communication is infrastructure based, so the wireless access points and hotspot servers have become mo ...

Energy-efficient Broadcasting in All-wireless Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Christian Enz, Mario Cagalj

In all-wireless networks, minimizing energy consumption is crucial as in most cases the nodes are battery-operated. We focus on the problem of power-optimal broadcast, for which it is well known that the broadcast nature of radio transmissions can be explo ...

Cooperative Packet Forwarding in Multi-Domain Sensor Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi, Levente Buttyan

Sensor networks are large scale networks of low-power devices that collaborate in order to perform a given task. The sensors are limited in battery energy, capacity and computational power. In recent years, researchers have proposed several protocols for s ...

New electrolytes for high power Li-ion batteries

Davide Di Censo

A new generation of high power Li-ion batteries that avoid carbon as anodic material replacing it with the spinel Li4Ti5O12 has been studied in this work. For these new Li-ion cells new electrolyte compositions can be considered. The main work of this thes ...
